If you are providing us with personal information about any other person, you confirm that you have obtained his or her consent and made him or her aware of this policy before providing the information to us.

IP addresses

We may collect information about your device including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Where we store your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) and transferred to our suppliers or service providers. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for our suppliers or service providers. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Site and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

To provide you with information and offers that we or (with your consent) selected third parties feel may interest you.

We will only contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous interaction with you, unless you have consented to additional marketing contact from us. Where we permit selected third parties to use your data, they will contact you by electronic means for marketing purposes only if you have consented to this.

Disclosure of your information

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our Group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, to our suppliers and service providers, and to Government bodies and other authorities to whom we are legally obliged to pass your data.

You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by ticking/unticking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by clicking on “unsubscribe” (or similar) on a relevant marketing communication, or by writing to: 128 Wigmore Street, London W1U 3SA. Our site contains links to and from the websites of our suppliers, advertisers and other third parties. If you follow a link to any of these other websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or for these third party websites.
